Rockfax Description
A memorable climb, its two upper pitches containing some especially great climbing. They are split by an exposed belay. Start at the base of the reddish left-slanting rake.
1) 26m. Climb up the rake to a small ledge where it steepens.
2) 4b, 12m. Step up and then pull up right on good holds to a small slanting overhang and make a tricky move past it to a good ledge. Move up the wall into a slabby bay and traverse left to good wire belays in a crack. A great stance.
3) 4c, 20m. Climb the technical crack and corner above to finish. © Rockfax

βeta: Pitch 1 is disappointing - easy and uninspiring. Didn't find it obvious at all where to belay. Pitch 2 we got lost and ended up mainly on Autumn Flakes. So I traversed back across for pitch 3. Pitch 3 is good - very run out crux!! Hard moves with only a small nut getting further away. IMO there are too many lines on this cliff. A combination of Autumn Flakes (especially first pitch) into Nameless would be much better - don't see the point of the first pitch? Second pitch sounds good if you find it. | βeta? | |

βeta: terrible rockfax description for p2, and I am not the first to make this mistake judging by the amount of chalk/clearly used holds/gear on p2 of paradise (??) description should indicate climbing well up above the belay before pulling right... unless the way I climbed was correct in which case it should mention the slim corner-slab and difficult moves left to rounded jugs... but the topo does not indicate going this way, to be fair | βeta? | |
